Two years ago such a comment would have -2 votes and would be hidden just because of its tone.
Sorry for the meta, but I am missing the old HN.
I doubt we would be able to have the whole front page dedicated just to Erlang news if the need appeared.
It seems that the problem of maintaining quality of discussion in an open forum remains unsolved.
Maybe limits to entry (like the problem in the link) or ability to provide negative feedback to posters would help.
- bostonpete 16y agoHow would a comment pining for the days of yore have fared two years ago?

- acgourley 16y agoI'm not sure if you're right or not, but if you are right it's very interesting because I've been here since almost day 1 and it's not as if my old comments routinely got down-voted. So if what you're saying is true, not only has the hivemind's up-vote heuristic changed - I've changed my posting habits.
